The rain this week ruined the

The Yukon Sun will continue

However; we would like to keep
it all in Yukon, if possible. We
need it and Yukon needs the
money here at home.

PLANT SOME FEED
While the Sun pencil pusher
does not claim to know anything
about farming, we cannot help
attempting to give our farmer
friends a little advice occasion-
ally. When we endeavor to tell
our farmer readers anything
about their business, we usually
try to make ourselves certain
about what we are talking about.
In this case, we want to urge
every farmer in Canadian county
to plant some rough feed stuff

BY ELBERT HUBBARD
Self-rity is the act of feeling sorry for yourself. You sit
down and weep because you are not appreciated, or loved,
or worshiped as you feel you should be.
Not being appreciated, you cast about for reasons. It is
only a step then to find them. You are hated folks are
plotting against you.
When you pity yourself you begin to think of yourself as the
center of creation, a sort of central sun around which the
stars revolve or should. You are out ol focus.
Unconsciously, the self-pity habit brings indifference, then
pitv, then the contempt ol everybody with whom the indi-
vidual associates.
We would better take the bumps that life sends and regard
them as lessons. Life is a struggle against our own limita-
tions. If we pity anyone, let's pity the folks who have to
live with us.
It is a great privilege to live, to engage in the struggle of
existence, ti' light for that which is right, and if need be to
suffer and die for it.
To have a pain is proof that you are alive. Dead ones have
nop tin. The-1 who are alive are bound to suffer. This is
a part of the great education of every individual who really
lives and achieves. And to live, in itself, is an achievement.
To go down and acknowledge you are down is the only
defeat. When you indulge in self pity you are on the slide,
reaching for the swab.
Man's business is to surmount, to arise, to aviate, and when
he begins to help himself he grows strong, and everybody
will help him.
Self-pity is the first symptom of paranoia. And paranoia is
a disease of the brain that comes from continually thinking
of one's own self and dwelling on slights and fancied insults.
If we fail in an undertaking we blame others. If we suc-
ceed we take all the credit to ourselves. It is very much
. ;isier to blame some one else than to face the issue; and so
we hide our blunders behind an excuse, evolve se f-pity,
explain the matter to anyone who will listen, to get them, it
possible, to help feel sorry for us.
Self-pity evolves hypocrites who pretend that they feel
sorn for us, when the fact is that, down deep m their
h> arts, the think less of us for every whine, every grouch,
and every growl.
When we explain, when we accuse, when we denounce
others, self-pity begins to consume us, and power takes wing.
Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high. Keep
vour mouth shut, \ > ir eye; open, and breathe through your
nostrils. Don't bewail unkind fate. Don t try to lay the
blame on others.
Time is ti
